MOBILE, Alabama - Mobile BayBears' players swept the Southern League's weekly awards this week, with Jake Lamb selected the Player of the Week and Charles Brewer the Pitcher of the Week, the league announced.

The BayBears won the South Division's first-half championship last Friday night and finished off the first half with two more games against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos at Hank Aaron Stadium over the weekend. Lamb and Brewer offered their help along the way.

This marks the first time Lamb has earned Player of the Week honors this season, though he has put together a solid year thus far. He will hit third in Tuesday night's Southern League All-Star Game for the South Division, right in front of teammate Jon Griffin who will bat clean-up. The game will be played at AT&T Field in Chattanooga.

Lamb is batting .325 for the year, which ranks second in the league. He also has 11 home runs, a league-leading 25 doubles, 56 runs batted in and 79 total hits. Last week, he batted .476 in seven games with three doubles, two homers and 11 RBI.

In April, he was batted just .244 in 25 games. "I was kinda giving into the pitcher's plan ande chasing too many pitches out of the zone,'' Lamb told MiLB.com. "I usually have a good idea of the strike zone. I wasn't doing that the first month of so. I just took a big, deep breath and told myself to focus on my approach at the plate and that I'm going to get my pitches and make sure I don't miss them. It's been working ever since.''

Brewer was 2-0 last week with a 1.50 earned run average in two games, both starts. He threw for a combined 12 innings, allowing six hits, two runs (both earned), no home runs, walking six and striking out 21 batters.

He struggled at Class AAA Reno early this season. There, he posted a 7.28 ERA and walked 20 batters in 47 innings of work. Since arriving in Mobile his results have been much better. Against Huntsville, which won the North Division title, he held the Stars to one hit and struck out 13 batters in six innings of work. He also picked up the win Sunday against Pensacola, giving up two runs over six innings while striking out eight. No one else in the minor leagues struck out more than 17 batters last week.

The BayBears return to The Hank on Tues., June 24 for a five-game homestand against the Jacksonville Suns. They begin the second half of play following the All-Star Game on Thursday at Montgomery, the first of five games against the Biscuits.
